Hello! I am a writer and teacher in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States. I am new to CS because I have never before had room to let anyone stay, but now my house is nice and big.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined CS because I am travelling to France this summer, but I would like to travel everywhere and also host interesting people from all over the world. I love learning new things from other cultures and points of view.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I climbed a mountain in Japan at sunset...(what a gorgeous view)... but it was dark when we had to go back down and so we climbed down the very steep mountain in the forest in the dark! I never thought I'd find myself on a mountainside in Japan in the dark of night, trying to feel my way around.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm happy to help if you are learning English. I am a teacher by nature so I like helping people learn things. I'm also good at teaching to make books, a little bit to draw, and write.

I would like to work on learning more French, and learning how to cook different dishes from around the world. And whatever else you have to share!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share art and words, and cooking skills.
